Heyo if you like Frank Sinatra or Rancheras, put a song on for my grandma. At my grandmother’s celebration of life they played them and it brought me a smile.

Hope a stranger’s favorite genres can bring you a smile today. It’s what she would’ve wanted.

Today we have the honor of celebrating Chavela Vargas!

Born on April 17th, 1919 in San Joaquin de Flores, Heredia Province, Costa Rica, Chavela Vargas was a singer of Rancheras who's work helped spread different gender norms and gender expression for generations and influenced performers today.

While she rejected the term Lesbian for most of her life (and was even offended by it at times), her sexuality was somewhat of an open secret with rumors of her having relationships with people like Frida Kahlo and Ava Gardner. She came out publicly at the age of 81 in her autobiography titled Y Si Quieres Saber De Mi Pasado (And If You Want To Know About My Past).

OMG it's Vicente Fernández (version completa)

[hercolubusred]

soy el hombre mas triste del mundo ni la vida me quiere con vida he buscado maneras de irme es el miedo quien me ha detenido

cuantas veces tendré que enfrentarme a demonios que llevo en el alma con mi arma cargada de ira le disparo palabras que matan

he soñado que nunca despierto pero vuelvo abriendo los ojos sin embargo no veo salidas solo restos de historias que he roto

soy el ser que no quiso ser parte de este mundo tan lleno de odio la tristeza hoy me llena las venas y aunque corte no sangran ni lloro.
